All but Greengrass also contend for Best Director at the Oscars; he was bumped out there by Alexander Payne (“Nebraska”).

In the 65-year history of the DGA awards, it’s winner has gone on to take home the Oscar on 58 occasions. Not surprisingly then, Cuaron is the overwhelming favorite at the Oscars too. The seven exceptions have been:

1968 — DGA to Anthony Harvey for “The Lion in Winter” and Oscar to Carol Reed for “Oliver!”

Usually, as with this year, there have been one or two differences between the slate selected by the 14,500 members of the DGA — which includes helmers of TV fares and commercials — and the choices of the 377 members of the directors branch of the academy.

Affleck won over the DGA voters while his film, “Argo,” became the third to take Best Picture at the Oscars without a corresponding Best Director nomination. The others: “Grand Hotel” (1931/32) and “Driving Miss Daisy” (1989).
